Just off the bat real quick. Planes. How the **** do you land em?!?!?!? Everytime I try, I crash. And no worries about me being a noob or anything, cause I am a vBF2 flyboy.
Im sure its just simple practice or something. Im just not used to the massive deceleration that they go through when slowing down. Is there like a trick or something? I get it to a really slow speed, and then it just drops out of the sky like a brick and blows up, even when I am like 2 feet off the ground.
And repairing? I fly over the hangar, but fighters go way too fast for it. And when I slow down, still nothing. But the AC130 (which is ****ing awesome) repairs like that....then again its slow as hell.
Do I need to land in em? (which I still cant do)
Guess its just practice.
But the rest of the mod is FANTASTIC. Its friggin awesome. There is a lot of lag still, but really, its very well done.
The AC130? The most kickass thing EVER. My friends and I take it out, them in that ****ing amazing gigantic cannon thing that fires something like a SCUD at **** and the awesome minigun, and me as pilot. Its an amazing team.
Lost Village inf? Hard as hell. Lots of BHing and DDing, but w/e. Its really fun though.
Sniper rifles do a very odd thing with recoil. They just rocket up in the scope. Maybe thats how it was in DC, but it seems VERY awkward to me. Still I can hit my targets okay.
Biggest gripe: No TV missles for the choppers!! Come on! That takes ALL the fun out of chopper teams. I swear, choppers are one of the things that BF2 got right in the fun factor, outside of hitboxes and stuff. The gunner is basically a weakass passenger. Let him DO stuff!!
Also, my settings are turned almost all the way down, while in vBF2 I can put him fairly high. Whats the deal? Optimization, or ****ty comp? Which is more taxing, BF2, or DCon?
Again, an amazing alpha release. I see great things coming from this mod. Anyone who calls me a fanboy, **** off...great mod.
Edit: One thing I forgot to mention. Some of the music, imo, is awful. The repetitive so obviously computer generated synth drums that blare into your head. The horrible monotone losing/winning music for opposition with that ****ty snake charmer tune. Thats god-awful. Makes me wanna kill something...
Suggestion to the sound guy: lay off the drums, and focus on that melody more. The menu music takes a little too long to get into the guitar part, which is great. But that loading music with the drum track is so ****ing annoying that I had to turn music off to enjoy the mod.
None of the music tbh is stellar, but these two tunes really stick out as very annoying. I guess everything else can stay...
